Yes, I've used it in the past. I didn't spike with it but, as always, test for yourself.

That being said, I found that it had a funny taste, sort of like a twang to it, so I searched online and found recommendations to sift it well and throw away the little balls (apparently they're shortening) left in the bottom of the sifter. I did, sifted it at least three times before I used it, and that helped the taste a lot.

Haven't tried it due to the list of ingredients. Guess I would rather make my own

Let us know if you try it.

Have you seen a recipe for baking mix? I have been a scratch baker for years, yet the thought of trying a new lo carb recipe when i dont know how it will turn out is overwhelming. Not sure what that is about.

Yes, it is in one of the "Low Carb Friends" cookbooks, (maybe #2-not sure). I'll look it up. I didn't make any of the recipes using it, so can't say what the results are.

I'll post the recipe here when I find it

ETA: I pulled out volume 4 and on page 119 is Jennifer Eloff's recipe for Splendid Gluten-Free Bake Mix 1. It includes almond flour, oat flour, coconut flour and xanthan gum. Also includes instructions for using the bake mix with different recipes. She also has Bake Mix 2 (page 120-121 (same volume) which appears to have an option to include gelatin.

Yes, I tried it shortly after diagnosis and I found it had an odd taste and won't use it again. There are many many resources available for low-carb recipes. We have two ares for recipes on DD, here, and here. There is also a sticky note here with some great sites for low-carb recipes.

So wanted to revive this thread to tell you about my experience. Made the cheesy biscuits, low carb pizza and chocolate chip cookies with the baking mix.

Cheesy biscuits - good, flake, edges were the best. Does have a bit of odd taste and grainy but I still liked them.
Low carb pizza - found the recipe on carbalose.com. easy to make, crust was too thick and porous so the pizza sauce just soaked right in. My favorite part was the crispy edges. Won't make this again.
chocolate chip cookies - found on carbalose.com. my first two trays the cookies flattened out too much. Then what was left I added more mix and that batch of 6 turned out the best. I used 75% chocolate chunks. They were soooo good! Ate too many (6!) and didn't take insulin so blood sugar was 220. Supposed to be 2 net carbs per cookie - don't know what the total carbs were. My husband loved them and he's not much of a sweets person. Would definitely make again. Problem is portion control. lol.
